----------------------------------------
Approval of Discretionary Bonus.
The bonuses of Carl Siebel, President and Chief Executive Officer, Peter
Pfeiffer, Vice Chairman of the Board, and Stephen Hagge, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, are discretionary as
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors after
reviewing AptarGroup's overall performance, strategic actions implemented and
individual leadership achievements. Based upon an evaluation of these criteria,
including, in particular, the strong financial performance of AptarGroup during
2005 in which AptarGroup reported record net sales and earnings per share and
achieved its 40th consecutive year of sales growth, the Compensation Committee
determined on February 9, 2006, the total 2005 bonuses for Messrs. Siebel,
Pfeiffer and Hagge as follows: Carl Siebel - $650,000 in cash, Peter Pfeiffer -
$ 430,000 in cash and Stephen Hagge - $ 350,000 in cash and pursuant to Mr.
Hagge's election to take a portion of his annual bonus in restricted stock
units, 1,091 units with an approximate value of $60,000 based on the closing
share price on the New York Stock Exchange of $55.02 on February 9, 2006.
